Costumes of Witches

Finding costumes of witches is incredibly easy – the witch has traditionally been one of the most popular costumes for years and years. The question that you need to ask yourself however is what kind of witch do you want to be? Good witch or evil witch? This will obviously influence your choice of costume.

Evil Witch
The evil witch is traditionally dressed in black clothing – black dress and black hat. Very evil witches will also have green skin (ala The Wizard of Oz). An accessory for an evil witch costume would be a black cat (very traditional) or even a monkey (again, think Wizard of Oz). These are called familiars (or the witch’s familiar).

Good Witch
The good witch is tradtionally dressed in sparkly, white, very feminine clothing. Think Glenda the Witch.

Witches Costume AccessoriesAll witches, regardless of if they are evil or good will typically have a pointed hat as part of their costume. Another accessory would be long painted nails. You’ll also want to do elaborate eye make-up (glittery for the good witch, black outline for the evil witch).

Dog Witch CostumesThen there are witch costumes for dogs – this is a good choice for your pet because your dog doesnt have to be in a full-body outfit that will constrict him from walking. It is also incredibly easy to do – just put a cape and hat on your dog and whalla – you have it!

Kid Witch Costumes

The same goes for kids and children – the witch’s costume for the young is a good choice – just a cape and a hat and you have it! And there’s nothing a kid loves more than wearing a cape!!
